We look at the division of 839931 by 17 
Our goal is to divide 839931 by 17.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 17 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 83 / 17

Step 2:
17 goes into 83 4 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 68 from 83.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 159 / 17

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 159 by 17, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 49.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 153 from 159.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 69 / 17

Step 4:
When dividing 69 by 17, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 494.0
Deduct 68 from 69 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 13 / 17

Moving on to step 5:
17 goes into 13 0 times with a remainder of 13.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4940.0
If we subtract 0 from 13, we get 13.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 131 / 17

Advancing to step 6:
17 can be fit into 131 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 49407.0
If we subtract 119 from 131, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 120 by 17, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49407.7
If we subtract 119 from 120, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 10 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 49407.7
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 100 by 17, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49407.705
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 85 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 150 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 49407.7058
Subtract 136 from 150 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 17 fits into 140 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49407.70588
If we subtract 136 from 140, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final result is 49407.70588 with a remainder of 4e-06.
